So, I built a pair of Auto Chicken Farms to provide raw chickens for villager trading in my VT Hall. I used the design on YouTube by Green Guitar Guy. Works pretty well, can have raw or cooked chickens, and has an egg mode to collect eggs only. But one problem - the chickens are as noisy as hell. So after a day of noise, i got fed up and demolished them and rebuilt them underground (30 blocks down from where they were) with a water elevator to carry the produce to a sorting system where the farms once stood. Much quieter! And it was nice to build a water elevator as i'd never built one in my world before.
Hey, Mr N about the post at the top of the page. What is that little platform of obsidian? I thought they were end portal blocks at first. It looks like there are two holes in the middle. Im just curious.
The important thing is not how long you live... It's what you accomplish with your life. While I live, I want to shine. I want to prove that I exist. If I could do something really important... That would definitely carry on into the future. My spirit will always live on. And so if I were to disappear... I think that all I have accomplished will go on. That would mean that it's living. Right?- Grovyle

If I said something was a joke when it didn't seem like one, I'm making an excuse to avoid an argument I know is coming. Instead of telling me how not funny I am and how it didn't seem like a joke at all, just go along with it. Because flame wars suck and nobody wants to be a part of one.

Its nothing really. The holes contain a daylight sensor and an inverted daylight sensor. The inverted one isn't hooked up to anything just now, but the other one turns the redstone lamps on on my pyramid at night and fires my pumpkin/melon farm at dawn/dusk. The obsidian was just to give them some protection; a creeper explosion could possibly expose the redstone underneath and the circuit would get flooded.

By my math, starting from 0,0 and walking to 0,30000000, would take 1930.353 hours (11.500 weeks) of continuous walking. This also assumes that the player does not stop moving or slow down at any time and that the player walks in a completely straight line.
According to the wiki, the player moves at 4.317 blocks/sec when walking. 4.317 * 60 * 60 gives us 15541.2 blocks/hour. 30,000,000/15541.2 = 1930.353 hours. All values are rounded to 3 s.f, except while I was doing the math, then they weren't rounded at all.
It certainly is possible to walk to the world border in a "reasonable" amount of time - I've walked far enough in my time playing to reach the original Far Lands, slightly over 40% of the distance to the current world border. For example, this is what I reached in my first world (back when I'd modded it; after reverting it to an unmodded state about 1/3rd of my "progress" was lost, about half of which has been regained) and the other worlds I've had are together comparable to this world (i.e. overall about twice the numbers see here):
Based on that it would take me about 248 IRL days of playtime over 1,700 play sessions (about 4.66 years of daily playing) to reach the world border, and this is largely from exploring caves underground, not exactly the best way to travel quickly; my average speed has only averaged about 1.4 m/s, a third of your walking speed - walking nonstop would about 80.75 days but that is only possible on a Superflat world without structures and set to Peaceful.
Also of note, Kurt (Far Lands or Bust) has mainly taken so long (more than 4 years) to progress only about a fifth of the distance to the original Far Lands because they only play on average 10-15 minutes per day, at least for this series, also likely influenced by the fact it is a YouTube series (nobody is going to watch hours-long videos uploaded every day) and that they also play on other worlds and multiplayer (I only play on one world at a time; I've played on my first world in two stretches of about 6 months each so far, plus the past month or so, interspersed with other shorter-lived worlds).

But while you've walked 6400+ km, it hasn't been in a straight line. If you're doing anything at all in the process your forward progress would be slower.
To recast that 1930 hours in the context of a very dedicated player, if you played 20 hours a week, that would be almost 100 weeks of play, which is to say 2 years. Add in 50% fudge factor for the fact that you can't always go in a straight line and get slowed by climbing and swimming, and it's 3 years. I suppose a dedicated horse rider could cut that down by about half (horses are 3x as fast, but they have more issues with obstacles like forests and lakes). Agreed, absolutely in the realm of humanly possible but that's a lot of travel.
